***HOW SUGAR SPOILS YOUR BEAUTY*** There is no point in spending lots of money on expensive skin creams if you are eating a diet high in sugar.. Yes, you can protect and moisturise your skin from the outside with creams, but you need to feed and stimulate the growth of good strong skin cells from inside too and sugar will sabotage that.. Sure, you know that sugar isnt exactly the best ingredient to consume on a daily basis, after all, its bad for your figure and can also cause wrinkles. Thats because sugar molecules in your system attach to fats and proteins in a process called glycation, which leads to advanced glycation end products, commonly called AGEs, that cause protein fibers to become stiff and malformed. Unfortunately, the proteins in your skin that are most prone to glycation happen to be the same ones that make a youthful complexion plump: collagen and elastin. During the process, they become discolored, weak and less supple, which then shows up on the skin as wrinkles, sagginess and a loss of radiance. It is recommended that we stay away from sugar enriched foods such as chocolates, candy bars, greasy foods, processed foods and high-glycaemic carbohydrates, such as pasta, bread, potatoes, rice. These foods will rapidly convert to sugar and lead to a rise in blood sugar. Skin destroying sweets and carbohydrates can lead to further sugar cravings. A High-Glycemic Diet may also cause complexion skin problem such as Acne. Hence sipping water instead of sweetened drinks can have an added bonus: Water makes skin cells plump, which naturally hides wrinkles.The best way to ensure a lovely complexion is eating a balanced diet, full of vitamins A and E and skin-helping nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids.
